Description

Practically from the moment the dust settled in New York and Washington
after the attacks of September 11, a movement has grown of survivors,
witnesses, and skeptics who have never quite been able to accept the official
story. When theologian David Ray Griffin turned his attention to this topic in
his book The New Pearl Harbor (2003), he helped give voice to a disquieting
rumble of critiques and questions from many Americans and people around the
world about the events of that day. Were the military and the FAA really that
incompetent? Were our intelligence-gathering agencies really in the dark about
such a possibility? In short, how could so much go wrong at once, in the
world's strongest and most technologically sophisticated country?

Both the government and the mainstream media have since tried to portray the
9/11 truth movement as led by people who can be dismissed as "conspiracy
theorists" able to find an outlet for their ideas only on the internet.
This volume, with essays by intellectuals from Europe and North
America, shows this caricature to be untrue. Coming from different intellectual disciplines as well as from
different parts of the world, these authors are united in the conviction that
the official story about 9/11 is a huge deception manufactured to extend
imperial control at home and abroad.
